army ranks

Explanation:
Whilst "a rank" in the army is βαθμός, when used in the plural in this way "ranks" can refer to all soldiers of whatever rank. Searching for "τάξεις του στρατού" has convinced me that "army ranks" (or "the ranks of the army" depending on context) is the correct translation.
I don't think there's any need to say "Land Forces" rather than "Army" (in fact, it would sound clumsy in this context).
